Have you ever visited the capital of your country.


I have been to Ottawa twice. The parliament buildings are very nice. The war museum is also enlightening.

reply

Twice! Once with my family and again on a school trip.

Honestly, the sites are pretty cool, but outside the main city center, DC is a crime ridden dump.

You got that right!

I CAN'T IMAGINE EVER WANTING TO VISIT WASHINGTON D.C.๐Ÿค”

The history aspect is cool for a couple days, but I wouldn't make a vacation out of it lol. I might have been bored as a kid, but fondly remember being at the top of the Washington Monument.

reply

Numerous times for London - Iโ€™m there now, lol.

A few times for DC (I have dual nationality).

reply


You have dual nationality or dual citizenship?

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

In Britain dual Nationality and Dual Citizenship are considered the same thing, but I state the former because I know that itโ€™s more accurate when talking to people from other nations because of the other definitions that it has.

reply


So you have Dual Citizenship, right?

๐Ÿ˜Ž

reply

That is correct; two passports.

reply


Outstanding! If I'm not being too nosy, which did you have first?

I was born in England ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ and moved to Florida just before my tenth birthday (itโ€™s a long story). The USA is one of the easiest places in the world to get Citizenship.

Yes, I have been to Washington DC many times, mainly to protest an overbearing and oppressive Federal government
brought on mainly by the Left.

I've been to Washington DC twice, once as a kid and once as an adult.

I didn't like it, except for the inside of the Smithsonian Museums.

reply

Yes.
The first time was when I was ten years old.
Then in 1969 when I was 17, I began my four years at The George Washington University.
During my freshman year I lived at Adams Hall, 730 19th Street N.W., which was only three blocks from the White House.
I graduated in 1973.
Thus freshman year began with anti-war demonstrations and senior year ended during the Watergate hearings.
Washington, D.C. was a great place to go to college.
There's nothing like walking over to the Jefferson Memorial with your friends in the middle of the night, smoking a couple of doobies.
Since 1973, I've been back approximately a dozen times.

reply

Yes Canberra is like a big country town with lots of free museums and attractions.

reply

Plenty of times, I even studied there.

reply

which school?

reply

The university.

reply

Do they call it U of A?

reply

In Dutch, yeah.
